To observed na Nik epa Samiti, (Carefulness while taking and placing the things) one should carefully dust and brush his things and then only place them on the ground. Similarly the objects are not to be dragged; instead they are to be lifted slowly from the ground. If any mistake occurs while dusting, immediately Navak ra Mantra should be recited. If implements like staff etc. are kept haphazardly, observe
yambila or study 100 verses from the scriptures, by remaining steadily in the standing posture only. To abide by Pri h va iy samiti, (i.e. the carefulness in disposal), if any being is hurt while defecating, urinating, or spitting, sneezing or coughing (mucus) then observe Nv (abstain ghee, milk etc.) and if blemished food is consumed, observe yambila. Before urinating or defecating, first utter “A uj aham jassuggaho' and after completion 'vosire' at those places. To observe Mana Gupti (restraint over mind) Vacana Gupti (restraint over speech) if in case the words or deeds are influenced passion; observe Nv, and if one commits a physical violation, observe fasting and yambila. If by carelessness any organism is hurt, observe N v depending upon the number of sense organs of the organism (if single organ - abstain any one, two organs - 2 and so on). Observe yambila if one deviates from the path of truth, by uttering a lie due to anger, passion, fear, or just for fun and frolic. While observing Asteya (non-stealing) vow, if one receives ghee etc., in first alms, the monk should not consume it without showing to the preceptor. Without prior permission, the monk should not use implements like wooden pot, staff, etc. of others and if he does, observe yambila. While observing the vow of celibacy, one should not talk to a woman in seclusion, and should not teach them in private. While observing the vow of renunciation of possessions, one should possess implements sufficient for one year only and not more than that. In all, more than 15 vessels, the basic objects 'k cal m' etc. should not be maintained. While observing fasting at night, food, water, snacks (light food) and snacks, etc. should not be kept near the sleeping place, even if one is ill.
